what's a pharoah without a pyramid,
What's a Paris without an Eiffel,
what's a civilized world,
without an engineer.

Heres an option,
Like a hot summer day without a chilled beer
When you feel miserable and have no cheer
Becomes true your worst fear
Nothing interesting all the year
My friends lend me your ear
Such will be life without an engineer

Nice one bro 😉 But, can we change beer to root beer? 😛
I have a feeling the song title will be "Without an Engineer".

Thanks for the constructive criticism😛

Here Ash, how about this one,
We can do much with all our tools
Oh! We all are so mighty cool
The world is our personal pool
Be it college or in school
Our inventions makes others drool
And makes them feel like a bunch of fools

Its very short, but I like that kinda tune. I can imagine Big K plucking or strumming in the background 😉 "Kicking specific gravity!" lol
For those who play or know Team Fortress 2, you've probably come across this clip already:

Okay we had some ideas from Gohm and Yudi. Using those lines for the chorus and my own poem I have thus completed the CE song. Here it is..😁
Like a hot summer day without a chilled beer
When you feel miserable and have no cheer
Becomes true your worst fear
Nothing interesting all the year
My friends lend me your ear
Such will be life without an engineer
Chorus
what's a pharaoh without a pyramid,
What's Paris without the Eiffel,
what's a civilized world,
without an engineer.
We can do much with all our tools
Oh! We all are so mighty cool
The world is our personal pool
Be it college or in school
Our inventions makes others drool
We are a bunch of Rational Fools
Chorus
what's a pharaoh without a pyramid,
What's Paris without the Eiffel,
what's a civilized world,
without an engineer.
Engineers both young and old
their heads high and standing bold
superior brains and heart of gold
answers to problems in the brain's fold
such a lot you will find I am told
at CE and it ain't cold
Chorus
anywhere on the globe you can be
one thing you'll be able to see
who made all that good stuff
Log on & see at CE.
Gears and engine from mechanical
circuits systems are electrical
trusses and cantilevers by the structural
civil, computer though without 'cal'
but believe me they're quite technical
and at CE they have their cubical
Chorus
anywhere on the globe you can be
one thing you'll be able to see
who made all that good stuff
Log on & see at CE
Questions fill our mind a lot
we search for answers deep in thought
but unawares we are never caught
be it a wrench or the CE Bot
We enjoy our life a lot
Hell, Yeah, we are Hot
Chorus
Making a messenger or a robotic arm
or contests that are quite cool
Know your CEan are quite a charm
CE makes an engineer drool.

While composing the drum beats, I just realized we haven't decided on the genre of the song 😛 Rock? Pop? Techno? Funk? Hip Hop?
The last time I help composed a song was back in high school, and we never really had a structure to follow (usually its just playing random things until we stuck on something we liked). I hope you guys know better (especially Gohm and Biggie)! I'm thinking we could use the following terms:
Intro
Bridge
Verse
Chorus
Riff
Then organize them in a structure we want.
[EDIT]
I suggest we create a place to host our music output files. How about creating a new Google Site on the CE network domain? At least the files will be centralized. We could call it CE Studios (which Biggie used before), for all our media efforts.

I doubt if the 'structured' approach will work 😉 . Maybe we'll find hidden musical genius among our team?

I think some sort of structure will help in composing the music? Like, the drum patterns will depend on the part of the song (eg bridge, verse or riff) 😛 I certainly don't want to have the same beat throughout! Likewise with the chords you'd want to use for your guitar.
Suggestion for a genre? If I had my way, I'd do techno/rap.. so you guys better suggest something more appropriate 😉

Alrighty guys! I got some material 😀 Made some random beats and uploaded them here:
#-Link-Snipped-#
Its not fully techno yet, since the software I'm using is mainly for drum patterns. Maybe you guys can do the crazy synthesizers and scratching 😉
And biggie, I named the site as "studios", so that if you wish, you can do the domain mapping as "studios.crazyengineers.net".

the drum beats sound really cool ash, just one small thing, do you thing you could reduce the tempo of the beats? Raps are fast no doubt, but this one feels TOO fast! 😉

-
Haha, I understand 😛 I was aiming to do follow the mold of BT's way of doing techno + rap. Beats are normally fast.
I'll create samples at different speeds, so they can be tested to see which is preferable. Where are the others? We need the guitar samples!
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

For Guitar samples - GOHM is the man! He's got better equipments too 😛
I'll try to come up with something. Patty, you ready with the rap?

oh And then, once the song is ready and recorded and available for download, I can make a video for CE and launch it on youtube! How does that sound?

Song Name: Don’t Mess With a Crazy Engineer
Written By: Kashish Malhotra
Genre: Rap / Hip-Hop / Rock
Inspiration: When I wrote this song, I was thinking about great engineers and scientists who were called mad and evil when they invented the things to which we are slave today. Some of these engineers / scientists are: Nickola Tesla, Hugh Everett, Albert Einstein etc.
Lyrics:
You saw in the sky, wondering about the stars,
I tried to tell you, they aren’t very far,
You said that I can’t do, I fought the fight through,
I did all those things that you can’t do,
I went under the sea, I flewed in the sky,
I like what I do; I do what I like,
You tried to stop me; you tried to block me,
I screwed up all your plans, even broke through your bans,
You called me evil and said I’ll fall too,
Don’t you understand that I dreamed for you?
I found the way to mars; I found the way to cash,
I made the world glow; I made the Road Rash,
I showed the first blast, I made it long last,
You tried to catch me, I got more fast,
I made the world dance; I made the world scream,
I gave you all the stuff that you can’t even dream,
You called me evil and said I’ll fall too,
Don’t you understand that I dreamed for you?
You tried to mess with me, saying that I am CRAZY,
I’ll tell you Mr. Damn,what’s the way to praise me?
Someone gave you technology and made you superior,
Who was it? Who was it? He was a crazy engineer,
I made the present; I’ll make the future,
I praise the God and proud to be a crazy engineer.
I underlined the words I replaced. 😀
What do you think??
Lolz I am a mad writer haha lolz

give me 2 days after 23rd and I'll make sure it has better lyrics and I want to add a section with a little more hip hop and a better chorus but wont do it till 23rd due to exams 😀
on 26th Ill post the most awesome lyrics available for this song. 😀
just 1 week. 😀

Superb lyrics 😀
Excellent..
I got a small question.. " i flewed in the sky"
i guess we dont have that word in English ,you can substitute with
" i conquered the sky " would be better just a small suggestion 😀
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
-
I guess just "flew" would work fine. Good eye, ES!
I'm not a song writer, so I was wondering.. does it make sense to use verbose kind of words? Or should words that are easy on the ears take priority? Or.. does it not matter as long as it fits with the tempo of the music?

Absolutely.

I think this is how the new words are made 😛
lolz look at the last two words in 3rd line in 2nd paragraph 😁
It didn't matched so I flipped it over. 😁
for me the words that suit your ear are best rather than making them correct(just like ash said), this habit came to me due to rock music some times you get words that just sound awesome but don't mean anything. 😁

OK, I was trying to write good lyrics for a good CE song, ended up writing this
IDK why I want able to make my mood according to the CE song, ended up making a sad song lol
I named this song "Wish"
Song Name: Wish
Author: Kashish Malhotra
Creation Date: 28th June'2009
Sitting at the door, I felt like washed away,
Waiting by the phone, that never rang,
I seem to be the only one who didn't had a path of life,
Now my heart calls, it calls for a cold knife,
Why can't I change this sad feeling, and face the world,
Coz I know I don't deserve this bitter life,
Why am I the one to walk afraid,
I wanna fly beyond the limits, to reach the only goal, to find what I need
To change this world,
Praying to the God, he never came,
Wishing to the broken star, felt like pain,
My heart feels so weak, I can't take this anymore,
I lie down surrounded, I can't feel the floor,
Why can't I change this sad feeling, and face the world,
Coz I know I don't deserve this bitter life,
Why am I the one to walk afraid,
I wanna fly beyond the limits, to reach the only goal, to find what I need
To change this world,
Now I don't mind stealing, if only that can help,
Coz when I'll come, I'll bring the fire with me,
So now I stand and walk to change the world,
Coz my heart is everything that I will ever need,
So now I stand and walk, I face the world,
Coz I know I don't deserve this bitter life,
I won't be the one to walk afraid,
I'll fly beyond the limits to reach my only goal. to find what I need,
To change this world.
